Abstract

Sir: In contrast to dichloroborane-ethyl ether and dichloroborane-methyl sulfide, which require the presence of a Lewis acid, usually boron trichloride, for the satisfactory hydroboration of alkenes, the new reagent, dibromoborane-methyl sulfide, readily hydroborates representative alkenes directly. This development makes readily available for the first time such alkyldibromoboranes and the numerous derivatives into which they can ...
